About the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board

The Fairfax-Falls Church Communiy Services Board is the public
agency that plans, organizes and provides services for people in our
community who have mental illness, substance use disorders, and/or
intellectual disability. The CSB also provides early intervention
services for infants and toddlers who have developmental delays.

We are one of 40 Community Services Board in the Commonwealth of
Virginia. State law requires every jurisdiction to have a CSB. We
operate as part of Fairfax County government's human services system.

Our staff and contracted
services providers include psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses,
counselors, therapists, case managers, peer specialists, and
"behind the scenes" administrative and support staff. We
partner with community organizations, faith communities, businesses,
schools and other local government agencies in many ways to provide
the services people need, and to be good neighbors in the
community.

Most other, non-emergency CSB services are primarily for people
whose conditions seriously impact their daily functioning. For
example, women
and girls who are pregnant, intravenous drug users, and people
asking for treatment for abuse of opioid drugs (including
prescription drugs) have priority for substance use disorder
services. Learn more about the CSB’s priority service
population criteria for access to non-emergency acute CSB
services.

However, anyone with a concern related to mental health, substance
use, or intellectual or developmental disability may contact the CSB
for help in finding appropriate treatment and resources either from
the CSB or from other service providers in our community.

What services does the CSB provide?

Since many people who seek CSB services have "co-occurring"
disorders, such as mental illness and substance use disorder, our
services are categorized not by specific disability but by how they
are provided. For example, acute/therapeutic services include
detoxification, crisis/emergency response, and residential
therapeutic treatment services for individuals with serious mental
illness and/or substance use disorders. CSB also provides services
such as employment and day support, case management, supported
housing and other services to help individuals live successfully in
the community. Visit our Services page
to learn more about available services and how to access them.

Where are services provided?

Services are provided in a variety of settings throughout the county
– in an office, in a group home or residential setting, or out in the
community. Visit our Locations page for more
information.

Is there a fee for services?

Yes, fees are charged to help offset the cost of providing CSB
services. Visit our Fees
page for more information, or call our Billing Office at
703-324-7026 (TTY 711) if you have questions about a bill you've
received.
